Product Information

Kismat Connection is a story that asks us about fate and how we let it control us. I loved this dual POV contemporary which made me feel some big feelings. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. Summary Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'A warm, feel good read.' -Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis'A gorgeous debut.' -Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling authors of The UnhoneymoonersIn this charming YA debut, a girl who's determined to prove her star chart wrong ropes her longtime best friend into an experimental relationship-not knowing that he has been in love with her for years.Is it possible to change your fate Madhuri Iyer is doomed. Doomed for her upcoming senior year to be a total failure, according to her astrology-obsessed mother, and doomed to a happily ever after with her first boyfriend, according to her family curse.Determined to prove the existence of her free will, Madhuri devises an experimental relationship with the one boy she knows she'll never fall for: her childhood best friend, Arjun Mehta. But Arjun's feelings for her are a variable she didn't account for.As Madhuri starts to fall for her experimental boyfriend, she'll have to decide if charting her own destiny is worth breaking Arjun's heart-and her own. Similarly, Madhuri’s character was spot-on! Devarajan did a stunning job of combining some likeable characteristics with Madhuri’s more abrasive features. I certainly saw myself within her, and watching her grow throughout the story was endearing. i think there's too many plot contrivances too early. within 2 chapters we have arjun's astrology reading and madhuri's astrology reading, but also madhuri's family "curse" and madhuri's "kismat experiment" to combat the family curse. it's too much. i knew what the author was going for and i still found myself confused on the intentions of everyone involved. (and it really was not that complicated. he loves her. she wants to break the family curse. it's not complicated.) Madhuri is determined to break the prophecy of her mother's reading before time is up and when she creates an experiment of sorts with Arjun, she's sure she has the leg up here. Unfortunately for her, the universe has ways of following through with its plans even when you try your damnedest to get ahead. Arjun agrees to the experiment because he has only ever had eyes for Madhuri, and maybe this is his shot to make her see things the same as him but her determination has the power to get in between them if he's not careful.

the answer is everything. throughout the whole book we are only being told about what’s happening but it’s never shown. there was no development, neither in the characters nor in the plot. the fake dating lasted five seconds, i swear. madhuri and arjun are friends and arjun has feelings for madhuri that are unrequited. but, we get an insta love out of nowhere. their dialogue was so unnatural and something that no teen would say nowadays. it felt strained and i cringed the whole time. it’s obvious that the author tried a little too hard. i just couldn’t find one likeable character in this book and at that point i should’ve just given up on it completely.From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a novel about love and loss and learning how to continue when it feels like you're surrounded by darkness. do you see my vision? in the book, she just writes out like, a hypothesis and a deadline. commit to the bit! oh i absolutely hate to be doing this to a book with desi rep, but i could not flow with the writing at all because it didn't have any emotions (or chemistry between the leads) whatsoever. and the fake dating plot lost me if i have to be honest.

We really don’t get a buildup of Madhuri and Arjun’s relationship. They start out as best friends with Arjun secretly in love Madhuri for years. Madhuri is constantly denying that she even likes him then like a switch she all of a sudden is in love with him. I also felt like a lot of the relationship building was done behind scenes. This could also be because it was hard to tell how much time went by between the scenes. We didn’t really get to see them grow their relationship, just them constantly having arguments about different things.
